I absolutely love this bench. It arrived intact and secure. I thought for sure when ordering this that it would arrive damaged. The packing material used to ship this was amazing, almost like the product was placed in a cocoon and the air was sucked out. Totally form fitted around the stone pieces. Shipped in 2 boxed and both arrived at the same time with no visible damage.  The inscription on the bench was very legible and was large enough to read without having to get my glasses. I have not attached the legs to the bench yet, but the instructions seem simple enough. Since this was purchased as a gift for my daughter she can attach them when I give it to her for Christmas.
